WWII souviner brought from France by my Uncle. Marked Cylindre Remuntoir 6 Rubis. Inside the back is inscribed with the previous owners name Edmund Fritz Dorndorf with a quarter moon and crown. Also cm.o800 and 5796 and date of 1891. Back has etching of Old Man with big mustach but dosn't photograph well. Watch is well worn and shows its age. No story from my uncle how he obtained it.Watch is not working. Thanks for looking and enjoy.

Thanks also for the website info, I can use this.
